From KOMU: University of Missouri leaders are moving forward with plans to redevelop portions of campus property.
“As discussed at the September Board of Curators meeting, the university is seeking to activate university land to provide meaningful revenue to the university,” MU spokesperson Christopher Ave said. “The project, or projects, should enhance the experience for all members of the community.”
During the Board of Curators meeting, officials outlined their vision to attract commercial developers to build a year-round entertainment and hospitality district on university-owned land.
“This pursuit is consistent with what we’re seeing across the country at both the collegiate and professional levels,” UM Board of Curators Chair Todd Graves said in a news release. “Our goal is to bring more amenities to campus. We’re committed to moving quickly but thoughtfully, and we’re excited to see the ideas developers will bring to these areas.”
UM System President Mun Choi said in the release the university aims to create a development that benefits both the campus community and the broader public.
“Our priority is to pursue projects that serve as a year-round destination for students, residents and visitors while enhancing the game day atmosphere within the MU Athletics Sports Complex,” Choi said.
